PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Yale women's soccer team was defeated by Brown, 2-0, at Stevenson-Pincince Field. The Bulldogs record moved to 7-4-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the Ivy, while the Bears moved to 5-3-3 overall, and 2-1 in the conference.

"Disappointing first half from us tonight," said Sarah Martinez, Loring Family Head Coach. "I'm happy with the way the group responded at halftime, but unfortunately, we dug ourselves a hole early in the game. I have told our group many times, when we can find a way to put together two compete halves, we will be very good, but our league is too good to only perform for 45 minutes and expect a result."
